The anchor for Sacramento's Fox40 lists five Emmy awards on her Facebook page, and that doesn't include two more she received at a gala ceremony June 14 in San Francisco, not far from the Bay Area home where she grew up and went to college.

But somewhere along the way something went terribly wrong, authorities say. Her career at KTXL-TV ended Tuesday with her resignation in the wake of felony counts charging her with being involved in a shoplifting scheme last year with her fiance, who has been jailed on separate charges that he burned down their south Sacramento home in May while manufacturing hash oil from marijuana.

Nicholas Gray, 30, is being held in the Sacramento County jail without bail and is described in court documents as boasting of shoplifting up to $200,000 of clothing in a two-month span. He has not entered a plea in the case. Court records indicate Gray, a marijuana dispensary worker, has a criminal history that includes convictions for burglary, resisting an officer and using force against a woman.

Rodriguez, who is out on $10,000 bail, has not commented publicly but issued a statement Tuesday.

"As of today I have severed my ties with Nick Gray," she wrote. "I am now focusing on life decisions as I move forward with the support of family, friends, viewers and the community."

Her lawyer has denied the charges.

"I am heartbroken to say, I have decided to resign my position at Fox40," Rodriguez wrote on Twitter and Facebook. "Given the recent media attention I feel it was the best decision to make."

Rodriguez, 31, had been at Fox 40 since 2011, coming to the station from Bakersfield. She also has worked in Oregon and on the East Coast, and her resume lists journalism honors that include a 2012 Edward R. Murrow Award for feature reporting and a 2008 Associated Press investigative reporting award.
